It’s the start of a new era. Or the continuation of the older era. Or perhaps even an era where you can no longer catch free fights on your satellite or cable provider.
The beginning of Fox Sports 1 will not be without growing pains. Despite a gigantic press push, Fox still has still not signed carriage deals with Dish Network, DirecTV or a number of the nation’s largest cable networks. This may or may not be the case come Saturday morning, as these deals are often brokered in the most last-minute way possible.
But let’s pretend, if only for a moment, that we’ll all be fat and happy on Saturday night, that we’ll all get Fox Sports 1 streamed into our magical television box. What should we expect? What should we look for? And how, pray tell, do we optimize our bankroll and make the most money we possibly can?
That’s what I’m here for. And I’ll go ahead and warn you that, if you lose, I’m not responsible. But if you win by using my picks, I’m entirely responsible.
Got it? Great. Let’s get started.
